Male Call

Male Call is a recurring segment on The Red Green Show, in which Harold reads letters from fans about the show and Red responds to them by talking to the camera (though in some cases, he doesn't get that far). Beginning in the 1994 season, Harold introduces the segment by saying "It's Male Call!" and ringing a bell loudly.

The segment gets its name from its first-season appearances, where it was introduced with a crudely-constructed computer-generated title using the word "Male". There has been no indication in any later episodes that the title was ever changed to "Mail Call", so the name stuck. This segment overlaps somewhat with The Experts, which also features letters from fans. However, most letters in The Experts ask for advice of various kinds, while Male Call letters tend to focus more on the show (in both good and bad ways). This segment ran from the 1991 to 1996 seasons, and stopped when the show was picked up by the CBC.

It is not known how many of the letters read in either of these segments were real.
